That last error is normal. A Python egg package is meant to install
something of its own, but P4PythonInstaller is a fake package that really
installs a different package. You can ignore that error. In fact, we really
should make it print some text saying to ignore that error, since we can't
suppress the error itself.

As for the download issues, I don't know. Perhaps the Perforce guys are just
having some problems on their end right now. I've seen intermittent issues
with their public Perforce server as well.
